Fat Gripz Product Benefits

Those who are not bodybuilders or professional athletes might immediately wonder about the benefits of such a product. While the company website goes to great pains to repeat the benefits of Fat Gripz many times over, there is no scientific data from third-party sources to back up such claims. Perhaps to neophytes the evidence is necessary, while experienced bodybuilders already know and believe in the theories behind Fat Gripz.

At $39 a set, one also wonders whether the same benefit could be gained by using household products like towels or duct tape. It seems as though Fat Gripz is a good idea, if it really works, but one that could be accomplished in a variety of other ways and at a lower cost.

On the positive side, the company offers a 60-day, risk-free offer which allows you to return the product if you're not completely satisfied. They will even cover shipping costs both ways.

Fat Gripz Website

For product manufacturers like Fat Gripz, their website is the place where they tell the entire world about their product. The main page of the Fat Gripz website is excruciatingly long with very little real information.

Most the Fat Gripz website consists of testimonials, claims, and various calls to purchase the product. These elements are repeated 3 to 4 times throughout the length of the main page, prompting this reviewer to wonder if he would ever reach the bottom.

Website navigation is also lacking, as the handful of links on this site are all contained at the bottom of the page. There are links to FAQs, support, the company's privacy policy, terms of use, affiliates, and PDF instructions for product use.

The FAQ link, as an example, lists 27 questions and answers mostly regarding the technical aspects of the product itself. They are pertinent information in that respect, but beyond that they serve no real purpose.

Although a poor website does not necessarily indicate an illegitimate business or low-quality product, the time and effort a company puts into its online presence is usually telling to some degree.

If nothing else, the Fat Gripz website gives the impression that this is a company which has found a way to make a decent amount of money by providing a product which is somewhat overpriced and possibly unnecessary to the sport of bodybuilding.

Fat Gripz Endorsements

One of the biggest names among those who endorse Fat Gripz is Charles Poliquin. Mr. Poliquin is the owner and founder of the Poliquin Strength Institute, and a trainer of NFL and NHL athletes as well as more than 400 US Olympians. According to the website, 17 of his athletes are medalists.

The website also lists Stanford University, the Minnesota Vikings, and the US Special Forces as Fat Gripz users. It is assumed that these organizations have lent their names under an official endorsement agreement. In addition, Fat Gripz have been featured by Iron Man Magazine and Testosterone Nation.

The only method of purchasing Fat Gripz is directly from the company through their website. They offer an affiliate program for other webmasters and site builders willing to promote the products in exchange for a 15% commission. Regardless, all sales are processed directly through Fat Gripz. The company ships internationally as well as domestically.  The supplement finder can help you find the products you need to get ready to lift with Fat Gripz!
